I don't really know what Right wingers are?I just look at them as B-holes ,thought I Never would agree with you but this does surely deviate some!

Yes Men-does that mean now they can marry each other?IF so we seem to have a lot of those,if not,, they can sure play the part to well.

Brown Nosers- want to be ladies,and you so right,excuse me sir can you please wipe the bullchit off your nose /lips:lol: Now I know why no passes are made toward me? Testing the water can tell people a lot!

I agree! There are plenty of people with opposing views that I haven't blocked for the reasons you stated. The ones I blocked are the ones who don't discuss issues. They immediately go down the hate speech and name calling road. The ones that can't let a good discussion go past page one without it disintegrating into a shouting match. Those who come here to vent their anger from having a bad day and just need to fuss at someone. Those people have the right to speak in a public forum, but I don't have to read it.

More so when special equipment is in play.

Yes so many sick folks,seems we just meet them all in the same day sometimes.

Midnight Shadows just gave a perfect example above. ^^^^

I guess he is next on my list.

What did I say to pizz you off? I was responding to SD post not yours?If the shoe fits get another one to go with it.You sure seem to like the downput all the time from LW?I have not said near the plain stuff he has said to you?If you feel that way toward me by all means put me on your list.I have not lost a friend only a enemy.

Should you just pray for me like you state you do for LW all the time?That I might say the words that you want to hear.I do not recall saying anything to You disresptful?

Whatever I will send a prayer up for you.That some hate will be removed from your heart/soul

You have a nice day

P.S. I am not a he that is Herman,I am a female.I guess you don't like females or males?hummm

Why don't you put everybody on Ignore? Then you can find somebody to talk to that you always can agree with.

Unless somewhere in the process you change your mind.

Now, that's a debate I'd like to see!

You probably missed my post to Buckeye earlier. She is a good example, as you are, of folks that don't always agree with me, nor I with you, on many topics. We can discuss and debate things.

The ones I put on ignore don't discuss and debate. They can't get past page one of a thread without starting up the foul mouthed name calling. The anger and frustrations in their posts just seem like they are here in the forum to deliberately stir the pot and fight with someone, anyone, as a means of venting whatever problems are going on in their real lives. There is nothing to learn from them. They have no real desire for civil discourse at all. They are free to come here and vent. But I'm also free to ignore their venom.

I like the ones where it resembles acquaintances getting together for some cold adult beverages on a slow afternoon. Sure, I might throw out a comment that might grate on somebody's comfort zone. But that is only to get some conversation going.

What I don't like is when people bring their children in who can do nothing but call people names and hurl vulgar insults. If you want to provoke otherwise polite company into slapping your kid, that's one way to do it.
